Scientific name: Cleome hassleriana Higher classification: Spider flowers Rank: Species Kingdom: Plantae Growing cleomes (Cleomes spp.) is a simple and rewarding garden adventure. Planting cleomes is often necessary only once, as this attractive annual flower re-seeds prolifically and returns year after year. Seed pods may be removed before bursting for use in planting cleomes in other areas of the flower bed and garden. Start some Cleome seeds if you are looking for a way to light up your garden in the evening. Cleome White Queen is brilliant and nearly glows at night! This annual comes in many colors, all of which are available from flower seeds; however, the white variety has the ability to help light up the garden at night with minimal exterior light. This popular white Cleome blooms in a gorgeous, bright white color that complements everything in the garden. Also known as Spider Flower, the large 4 - 6 inch airy blooms are quite aromatic and excellent for cutting. Cleome White Queen is very heat and sun tolerant. Even though it is an annual flowering plant, it is also a liberal self-sower, dropping its own flower seeds. Due to this fact, it should reappear the following spring.
Plant Cleome Spider Flowers in full sun and in fertile well-drained soil. Sow Spider Flower seeds indoors in late winter for transplanting outdoors after danger of frost. Or for areas with a long growing season, sow the flower seeds directly in the garden after danger of frost has passed and the soil temperature has warmed. Do not cover the flower seeds but firmly press them into the soil. Keep the Cleome seeds moist until germination occurs and then water regularly to provide a great start for this prolific bloomer.
